Patents
Like copyrights, patent protection depends on human conception and inventorship - and the law has not yet resolved the profound questions that AI-assisted invention raises about ownership, validity, and enforceability. We take these issues seriously and calibrate our use of AI accordingly.
We use AI to accelerate research, reduce costs, and improve efficiency, but quarantine its use to appropriate areas. AI helps us search prior art, understand the patent landscape, profile examiners, and monitor patent portfolios. But it never replaces human judgment.
Every strategic decision, claim, and legal action is written, reviewed, and signed by a registered patent attorney with 10,000+ hours of experience.
For patent searching and prosecution, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) search prior art and understand the competitive patent landscape; (ii) profile patent examiners to inform prosecution strategy; (iii) monitor patent portfolios for deadlines, gaps, and opportunities; and (iv) prepare and optimize prosecution filings - but not to draft descriptions or claims, because the unresolved legal issues around AI conception and inventorship may threaten the validity of those claims.
For patent monitoring, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) monitor competitor patent activity and filing trends in your technology space; (ii) identify potentially infringing products or processes in targeted markets; (iii) track the status of relevant third-party patents across jurisdictions; and (iv) flag portfolio maintenance deadlines and renewal obligations before they become problems.
For enforcement, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) gain detailed understanding of potential infringers, their infringing activities, their intentionality, and your damages; (ii) help you decide on your enforcement strategy; (iii) draft cease & desist letters; (iv) reduce the cost of legal proceedings should they become necessary; and (v) reduce the cost of settlement agreements when opportunity arises.
For IP monetization, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) identify and profile potential licensees whose products or processes read on your patent claims; (ii) evaluate the strength and scope of your claims against real-world commercial activity; (iii) prepare you for licensing negotiations with market data and competitive intelligence; and (iv) support litigation strategy when proceedings are necessary to advance negotiations toward money-making deals.
For IP valuation, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) establish defensible market values for your patent assets using comparable transactions and licensing benchmarks; (ii) build consensus around valuations with buyers, lenders, and strategic partners; (iii) identify and profile prospective buyers for outright patent acquisitions or portfolio sales; (iv) identify and qualify lenders willing to advance capital against patent assets; and (v) support the negotiation and drafting of related purchase, pledge, and financing agreements.
We understand that researchers and inventors are increasingly using AI-powered tools in their R&D workflows and believe that caution is warranted. For now, our best advice is to conceive in analog and vigorously document your human contributions before using AI-powered tools - because the inventor you protect today is the patent you enforce tomorrow.
Trademarks
Unlike patents and copyrights, trademark validity does not depend on human creation or conception - it depends on use, distinctiveness, and market recognition. This distinction allows us to more aggressively deploy AI-powered tools at every stage of the brand lifecycle, from creation through enforcement.
We use AI to accelerate research, reduce costs, and improve efficiency across all phases of trademark work. AI helps us develop brands, evaluate registrability, monitor competitors, detect infringers, and support enforcement strategy. But it never replaces human judgment.
Every strategic decision, filing, and legal action is written, reviewed, and signed by a registered trademark attorney with 10,000+ hours of experience.
For brand development and registration, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) confidentially support the design of brand names, logos, slogans, and marks; (ii) evaluate their suitability and distinctiveness for registration; (iii) search the web and global trademark databases for competing or conflicting marks; and (iv) draft class descriptions tailored for allowance across target jurisdictions.
For brand monitoring, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) search the web, digital platforms, and global trademark databases for potential infringers in your targeted jurisdictions; (ii) report on potential infringement in non-targeted jurisdictions; (iii) evaluate foreign language equivalencies and transliterations that may compete with your marks; and (iv) identify and acquire domain names incorporating your trademarks.
For enforcement, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) gain detailed understanding of potential infringers, their infringing uses, their intentionality, and your damages; (ii) help you decide on your enforcement strategy; (iii) draft cease & desist letters; (iv) reduce the cost of legal proceedings should they become necessary; and (v) reduce the cost of settlement agreements when opportunity arises.
For IP monetization, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) identify and profile potential licensees whose businesses would benefit from the goodwill and recognition of your marks; (ii) evaluate the commercial strength of your marks against real-world market activity; (iii) prepare you for licensing negotiations with market data and competitive intelligence; and (iv) support litigation strategy when proceedings are necessary to advance negotiations toward money-making deals.
For IP valuation, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) establish defensible market values for your trademark assets using comparable transactions and licensing benchmarks; (ii) build consensus around valuations with buyers, lenders, and strategic partners; (iii) identify and profile prospective buyers for trademark acquisitions or brand portfolio sales; (iv) identify and qualify lenders willing to advance capital against trademark assets; and (v) support the negotiation and drafting of related purchase, pledge, and financing agreements.
We understand that brands are among the most durable and underutilized assets on a company's balance sheet. Our best advice is to register early, monitor aggressively, and treat your marks as the revenue-generating assets they are - because the brand you protect today is the business you sell tomorrow.
Copyrights
Like patents, copyright protection depends on human authorship and original expression - and the law has not yet resolved the profound questions that AI-assisted creation raises about ownership, authorship, and validity. We take these issues seriously and calibrate our use of AI accordingly.
We use AI to accelerate research, reduce costs, and improve efficiency, but quarantine its use to appropriate areas. AI helps us assess copyrightability, analyze competitive creative landscapes, monitor for infringement, and support enforcement strategy. But it never replaces human judgment.
Every strategic decision, registration, and legal action is written, reviewed, and signed by a registered attorney with 10,000+ hours of experience.
For copyright clearance and registration, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) evaluate the copyrightability of works and their constituent elements; (ii) search global copyright registries and the web for competing or conflicting works; and (iii) prepare and optimize registration filings - but not to create or materially modify copyrightable works on behalf of clients, because the unresolved legal issues around AI authorship and human contribution may threaten the validity or ownership of those works.
For copyright monitoring, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) search the web, digital platforms, and marketplaces for unauthorized uses of your works in targeted jurisdictions; (ii) report on potential infringement in non-targeted jurisdictions; and (iii) track uses of your works across formats, languages, and territories on an ongoing basis.
For enforcement, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) gain detailed understanding of potential infringers, their infringing uses, their intentionality, and your damages; (ii) help you decide on your enforcement strategy; (iii) draft cease & desist letters; (iv) reduce the cost of legal proceedings should they become necessary; and (v) reduce the cost of settlement agreements when opportunity arises.
For IP monetization, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) identify and profile potential licensees whose products, platforms, or publications make use of your copyrighted works; (ii) evaluate the strength and scope of your rights against real-world commercial activity; (iii) prepare you for licensing negotiations with market data and competitive intelligence; and (iv) support litigation strategy when proceedings are necessary to advance negotiations toward money-making deals.
For IP valuation, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) establish defensible market values for your copyright assets using comparable transactions and licensing benchmarks; (ii) build consensus around valuations with buyers, lenders, and strategic partners; (iii) identify and profile prospective buyers for outright copyright acquisitions or catalog sales; (iv) identify and qualify lenders willing to advance capital against copyright assets; and (v) support the negotiation and drafting of related purchase, pledge, and financing agreements.
We understand that creators, developers, and businesses are increasingly using AI-powered tools in their creative workflows and believe that caution is warranted. For now, our best advice is to create in analog - or with AI as a tool, not an author - and to vigorously document your human contributions before, during, and after using AI-powered tools, because the author you protect today is the catalog you monetize tomorrow.
Trade Secrets
Unlike patents, trademarks, and copyrights, trade secrets derive their value not from registration or public disclosure, but from the rigor with which they are kept confidential - and the evidentiary record that proves it. In an always-on, hyper-connected world, maintaining that rigor requires both legal discipline and technological infrastructure.
We use AI to accelerate research, reduce costs, and improve efficiency, but quarantine its use to appropriate areas. AI helps us establish trusted environments, document human contributions, monitor for unauthorized disclosure, and support enforcement strategy. But it never replaces human judgment.
Every strategic decision, agreement, and legal action is written, reviewed, and signed by a registered attorney with 10,000+ hours of experience.
For trade secret creation and protection, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) help establish legally defensible trusted spaces - backed by confidentiality agreements and digital infrastructure - where multiple parties can communicate, collaborate, and create; (ii) vigorously document human contributions, conceptions, and decisions within those spaces to establish clear and durable evidentiary records; and (iii) keep those contributions fairly attributed and separated, so that questions of ownership and authorship can be answered with evidence, not argument.
For trade secret monitoring, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) monitor the web, job postings, competitor activity, and digital channels for signals of unauthorized disclosure or misappropriation; (ii) identify potential insider threats or third-party leakage in targeted jurisdictions; and (iii) flag anomalous activity that may indicate a breach before it becomes a crisis.
For enforcement, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) gain detailed understanding of potential misappropriators, their unauthorized use of your information, their intentionality, and your damages; (ii) help you decide on your enforcement strategy; (iii) draft cease & desist letters; (iv) reduce the cost of legal proceedings should they become necessary; and (v) reduce the cost of settlement agreements when opportunity arises.
For IP monetization, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) identify and profile potential licensees whose businesses would benefit from access to your proprietary knowledge, processes, or data; (ii) evaluate the commercial value of your trade secrets against real-world market demand; (iii) prepare you for licensing negotiations with market data and competitive intelligence; and (iv) support litigation strategy when proceedings are necessary to advance negotiations toward money-making deals - because a proven misappropriation case is often the most powerful licensing conversation starter of all.
For IP valuation, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) establish defensible market values for your trade secret assets using comparable transactions and licensing benchmarks; (ii) build consensus around valuations with buyers, lenders, and strategic partners - a uniquely challenging exercise for assets whose value depends on their confidentiality; (iii) identify and profile prospective buyers for trade secret acquisitions or technology transfers; (iv) identify and qualify lenders willing to advance capital against trade secret assets; and (v) support the negotiation and drafting of related purchase, pledge, and financing agreements, with appropriate confidentiality protections built in at every stage.
We believe that everyone deserves the infrastructure to protect what they create - not just those with the resources to build it themselves. The trusted spaces we help you establish today are the competitive advantages you monetize tomorrow.
Transactions
Unlike patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets — which are the assets you create and protect — transactions are how those assets become revenue, leverage, and valuation. Their value turns not on registration or conception, but on the quality of the deal and the strength of the record behind it. And because a well-negotiated agreement is not threatened by the unresolved questions of AI authorship and inventorship that constrain us elsewhere, this is where we deploy AI most aggressively.
This is the business-friendly half of the practice: value built with counterparties who want to build it with you. When they will not come to the table willingly, our Litigation practice is the other half of the coin — and the two are engineered to work as one.
We use AI to accelerate research, reduce costs, and improve efficiency across every stage of a deal — from strategy through signing day and beyond. AI helps us structure entities and equity, draft and review agreements, conduct due diligence, and build leverage. But it never replaces human judgment.
Every strategic decision, agreement, and legal action is written, reviewed, and signed by a registered attorney with 10,000+ hours of experience.
For deal strategy, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) model the equity, entity, and IP-holding structures that best position you for investment and exit; (ii) map the agreements — founders’, investor, employment, and assignment — required to reward good behaviors, counter bad ones, and hold ownership where it belongs; and (iii) stress-test your goals, leverage, and available tools before you ever sit down at the table.
For drafting and negotiation, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) draft routine agreements by feeding facts and vetted templates from our library to a private LLM, then carefully reviewing every result before it reaches you; (ii) accelerate custom agreements by deploying human experts first and our private LLM second, so that experience leads and technology follows; and (iii) review third-party papers with human-led, AI-powered redlining that surfaces risk, off-market terms, and negotiation openings.
For due diligence, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) inventory, verify, and value the IP assets at the center of a transaction across jurisdictions and formats; (ii) surface chain-of-title gaps, encumbrances, and enforceability risks before they become deal-breakers; and (iii) give buyers, sellers, and investors sophisticated answers to sophisticated questions, at the speed the deal demands.
For monetization, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) identify and profile willing counterparties for acquisitions, licenses, collaborations, and technology transfers; (ii) benchmark royalty structures, exclusivity terms, and deal values against comparable transactions; (iii) prepare you for negotiations with market data and competitive intelligence; and (iv) structure agreements that convert intellectual property into durable revenue.
When a counterparty refuses to deal, the same assets become leverage rather than currency. That is the province of our Litigation practice, which builds the evidentiary case file that turns a reluctant infringer into a willing licensee — then hands the resulting negotiation back to us to paper and close.
We understand that intellectual property only becomes wealth when it is deployed — in a license, an acquisition, a partnership, or a settlement that pays. Our best advice is to structure early, document relentlessly, and negotiate from strength — because the deal you structure today is the valuation you realize tomorrow.
Litigation
We help you build, value, and pursue litigation as a means for securing licensing deals with infringers.
Our team excels at turning infringement into revenue by using AI-powered workflows for infringer identification, pre-suit diligence, and case valuation, allowing us to focus on developing the strategy and funding sources necessary to attract top litigators when needed.
Where transactions build value with counterparties who want to deal, enforcement builds it with those who do not. Its value turns not on goodwill or registration, but on the strength of the evidence and the credibility of the threat behind it. And because an enforcement record is no more troubled by the AI authorship and inventorship questions that constrain us elsewhere than a negotiated agreement is, this is where, as in Transactions, we deploy AI aggressively.
This is the half of the practice for those who refuse to play nice. We do not try cases; we build the evidence and apply the pressure that brings the unwilling to the table; and once they arrive, our Transactions practice papers the deal.
We use AI to accelerate research, reduce costs, and improve efficiency across every stage of a dispute, from identification through resolution. AI helps us identify infringers, build the evidentiary record, value the claim, apply graduated pressure, and convert it into revenue. But it never replaces human judgment.
Every strategic decision, opinion, and enforcement action is written, reviewed, and signed by a registered attorney with 10,000+ hours of experience.
For infringer identification, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) monitor competitor filings, product launches, imports, and marketplaces for infringement in your technology space; (ii) map the universe of potential infringers and rank them by exposure, intentionality, and collectibility; and (iii) size the opportunity and the risk to your IP rights before you ever make a move.
For pre-suit diligence, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) analyze infringement claim-by-claim and pressure-test your own rights against a validity challenge; (ii) preserve evidence with a chain of custody that survives scrutiny; and (iii) assemble the case file into an instrument that carries an enforcement claim the way a contract carries a deal, with human experts leading and our private LLM following.
For case valuation, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) model damages so the number is defensible; (ii) benchmark royalties and settlement values against comparable transactions and verdicts; and (iii) size the settlement range so you know what the case is worth before you spend pursuing it.
For enforcement strategy, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) draft cease-and-desist demands backed by the analysis that makes them credible; (ii) coordinate graduated escalation, including marketplace takedowns, ITC Section 337 investigations, and counsel across jurisdictions calibrated to move the target rather than merely threaten it; (iii) convert caught infringers into paying licensees on terms the evidence supports; and (iv) quarterback the campaign across forums and timelines so pressure is strategic, not just aggressive.
For litigation funding, we utilize AI-powered tools to (i) assemble a case file built for contingency and pitch it to experienced litigators from our global network; (ii) prepare you for negotiations with market data and competitive intelligence; and (iii) qualify and structure the funding that lets you pursue infringers on their dime because a proven infringement case is the most powerful licensing conversation starter there is, and a fundable one is the one that actually gets pursued.
Once the unwilling are at the table, the fight becomes a deal, and our Transactions practice papers and closes it. Enforcement opens the door. Transactions walk through it.
We understand that a right you cannot or will not enforce is a right in name only. Our best advice is to monitor aggressively, build the file before you need it, and negotiate from a position of proven strength because the case you build today is the license you collect tomorrow.
